When Jesus died on the cross, He opened a way for us to spend eternity in heaven. By knowing Jesus, He gives us life while living here on earth so we can enjoy God and the journey. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man can come to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) Lois Jane Wallace

If you have experienced great trials, then you have the potential for great praise. "Lord, help!" they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves. What a blessing was that stillness...Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for all his wonderful deeds..."(Ps.107:28-31). NLT

No sin at any moment is bigger than God's forgiveness at this moment. "Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:42-43). (Ron Wallace)

Believers, we are going "to the Father." Much of our new home is still unclear to us, but two things are certain. Our "Father's house" is our home. And it is in the presence of the Lord. We are travelers and not permanent residents of this world. (R.C. Gillie)

Believer, if you think you've missed God, and lost your way, don't worry. Just pray, and remember...HE WILL FIND YOU! "Every moment you know where I am" (Ps. 139:3).

Sometimes we don't let people get to know us completely because we are afraid they will discover something about us that they won't like. But God already knows everything about us, even to the number of hairs on our heads (Matthew 10:30), and still…

Father, at times I feel like I'm finished. I'm just done and can't take anymore. You know my limits and the depth I can withstand. Help me to remember there is a final depth to this sinking process, and You are always within reach.

God does hear our prayer, but He may not answer it at the precise time we have appointed in our own minds. Instead, He will reveal Himself to our seeking hearts, though not necessarily when and where we may expect. Therefore we have a need for perseverance and steadfast determination in our life of prayer. (Streams In The Desert)

You may be going through difficult times right now. You're discouraged because the situation you face seems unmanageable, unreasonable, or unfair. It may seem unbearable and inside you're saying, "God I can't take it anymore." But you can. you can stay with it longer because God is with you. He'll enable you to press on. Resist discouragement and finish the race God has set before you. (Rick Warren)

Father, I know I have more days of worry than I do of trust. There's never been a day I could've made better than the one You planned for me. Sometimes my worry cancels out a day of potential happiness when I don't trust You. Even though each day may have enough trouble of its own, I choose this day to be happy in You. Amen.

"Don't worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matt. 6:34). (Ron Wallace) (From his book, "Encouraging Words in a Discouraging…

Happy New Year! Just want to share this devotion from Oswald Chambers. Hope it blesses you like it blesses me.

"You shall not go out with haste...for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard" (Isaiah 52:12).

Security from Yesterday. "...God requires an account of what is past (Ecclesiastes 3:15). At the end of the year we turn with eagerness to all that God has for the future, and yet anxiety is apt to arise when we remember our… Continue

Hope you're having a wonderful start to your week and it will get even better as the week progresses.

Ron and I had a wonderful time yesterday at the Women In Touch Banquet at our home church, FBC Belleview, Florida. I love this ministry of our church and how God works in the lives of the women who come into the program. It's always a blessing to watch them find their purpose in life and to find their joy in the Lord.

I hope you're having beautiful weather today like we're having here in sunny Florida with a cool breeze blowing. I love living in Florida from now until the end of May but must say that I miss living in Nashville for the rest of the year.

Yesterday was a special day for me as I talked on the phone with someone I met in the early 1960's when I was on the Wally Fowler TV Show. Tommy Mayo and I had lost contact with each other over the years and we just… Continue
